History: When Was Gold First Discovered? Dating back more than 5,000 years, when gold was first discovered – albeit usually in small quantities – attracted the eye of early man nearly everywhere. And unlike most metals, gold often appears in nature in its pure form so it need not be refined.

The Lion traditionally symbolizes courage, nobility, royalty, strength, stateliness and valor, because historically the lion has been regarded as "king of beasts'. The lion also carries Judeo-Christian symbolism. The Lion of Judah in the coat of Jerusalem.
